Overview
Mandatory across all of Victoria (from tonight) and encouraged elsewhere when you cannot maintain social distancing (on public transport and at supermarkets, for example), face masks have become a part of everyday life for many Australians. There are plenty of shops across the country selling them now, but if you want to make yours a touch more unique, Petflair is here to help.
The company is selling custom face masks with your pet's adorable fluffy (or not-so-fluffy) face on them. Whether you have an iguana, schnoodle or misanthropic cat, you can get their face emblazoned on a mask for all your fellow grocery shoppers to see.
The masks are made to Department of Health and Human Services guidelines with three layers — a 100 percent polyester outside layer and 100 percent cotton face and filter-pocket layers — and come in ten different colours, including pastel pink, yellow, red, blue and black.
They'll set you back $39.95 each — or two for $70 — with free shipping across Australia. Because of high demand, Petflair is only taking orders until 4pm on Wednesday, August 5 and shipping may take three-to-four weeks. So, you may need to get another couple of masks in the meantime (we've got some suggestions here).
As an added bonus, the company is giving a portion of profits to charity Pound Paws, which helps pounds and rescue centres rehome animals across Australia.
If you're set for masks, Petflair also makes towels and bathers with your pet's face on it. You'll be more than ready for a summer of social distancing on the beach if you get a set of these with Fido on them.
Petflair is selling its custom print pet masks for $39.95. Orders must be submitted by 4pm on Wednesday, August 5.
